I'm just a long-term user but I do think it would be useful to add the
feature if it doesn't disrupt anything else.

In particular EWMH support seems to be needed for sensible integration
with the arbtt task tracker.

Similar issues apply to xmonad, which *does* have an EWMH extension
(but it needs to be turned on to work with arbtt):

Lincoln's circa 2010 code adding EWMH support to RP is here, but I
couldn't immediately get the code in this repo to build.
